I had the same issue you had and finally asked the loyalty ambassador. He advised me to do an update to the royal app on my phone and as soon as I did that - open time slots showed up for the day. Yes, only once per cruise is what we were told too.

Once on board you may see some spots open up for the extended version due to cancellations. If you decide to go for the free version, I believe the app shows new time slots every morning at 8 am. Another option: If you go up to the north star sign in area they also have a wait list. I had made my reservation online and was told they didn't have me on the time/day I had picked so they asked if I could have a seat and see if everyone showed up. Lucky for me, some people didn't show up so I was able to board for the time I had actually booked. this was on Anthem in December.

Any indian dish I have onboard has always been good. I really enjoy Egg Burghi (I think is the name), usually served in the WJ at breakfast time. For a cabin with 2 adults they typically provide 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels and 2 wash clothes and 1 bath mat(towel). Now they are switching to once a day service I am sure everyone will be asking for additional towels.

Congratulations on the engagements. Best wishes for a smooth sailing with perfect weather and a paper compass every evening🥰

I am hoping that we get a choice of am or pm as we will select evening clean-up as we will want fresh towels after we shower and get ready for dinner, etc. Then we can get our paper compass and whatever other junk mail they have for us.

Glad to hear he is doing better. That is a good sign when they get anxious to get back home. 😍

In the evening you won't see much ocean as the Aqua theater screen will always be playing something. Various movies are played when aqua show is not happening. We did cabin 10325 and it was too high up to get a good view of the movie screen. We did one of these cabins once and decided for us, 2 adults, it wasn't for us. Price is right for most.

Good question. I guess it is just drilled into all of us for the last 3 yrs to hope it isn't covid when we get sick. Maybe because we keep hearing and/or learning about short and long term impact after covid. ???

I found that I had an itchy scabby area that didn't go away after a couple of weeks. So I went to dermatologist and had it scraped for a biopsy right after Christmas. Dr. said that it was a great catch and was very happy I did something about it right away.

That's wierd as I didn't think it was gruesome looking. Sorry for whatever responses I missed.

When you go to your B2B meeting in the morning ask if you will need a transit pass to re-board the ship after touring Ravenna.

onboard prices are anywhere from $24.99 to $26.99 / per day - depends on the ship. I'm sure your best bet is buy on cruise planner now. If your cruise leaves this coming Monday, you want to purchase no later Friday as they will shut down purchases from cruise planner 2 or 3 days before your sail date.

Previously ships were unable to dock at various ports if they had 1% or more of covid positive passengers/crew onboard. Haven't heard any numbers in a months so it must be well under 1%. No one ever really knew the % of covid positive passengers after a cruise.

Thank you for sharing the amazing photos of Venice, your food and the intricate costumes people are wearing for the carnival. I imagine it takes them quite a while to put together. Scallops is one of my favorites. I once tried raw scallops at a sushi bar and they melted in my mouth.

@bobmaclibertyLooks like you are having an amazing trip. Dinner at Bouchon looks delicious! The hotel and your room / patio are beautiful. Sorry it is too chilly to enjoy the outdoor area. Enjoy the remainder of your trip and safe travels back home.

Oh Marietta, I am sorry to hear about Charlie. Please let him know I said Hi and hope he feels better soon. Hang in there. Sending Hugs for both of you - what the heck how about a shot of grey goose too - LOL!❤️🍸

I love that snapshot from the webcam. Looks like a greeting card or postcard.

If you go to post 87763 by Jimbo you can view my original post there. Yes, it does seem someone deleted it. Maybe someone thought it was inappropriate. I occasionally skip 1 day every so often but 2 days that's going to be tough since I go to work. Thank you All! 😀 Happy to report it does not hurt all. I thought it would. The Dr. had warned me I may get puffy eyes that is brought on by gravity - but no puffiness either.

that is odd that every single crew member had to mask up on your last evening. I wonder if they were masked up for the next cruise. Your Waiter was probably opting to wear a mask (not unusual). Yes, every cruise we have been on has still been leaving hand sanitizer and masks in cabin when we embark.

Curious, do you know if those quarantined for remainder of the cruise did so in their cabin or do they still use the cabins near the medical center for quarantine?

Not wanting to start one of these arguing threads but sitting in a plane with a bunch of people coughing and sounding sick spreads their germs.

Chris did not test positive but has congestion and feels crappy as he puts it. Hopefully today they will both feel better as well as you💐

I personally think you are more likely to get covid on an airplane than on a cruise, Just my opinion. I was a recent first timer of covid (went around our office) and hearing more and more first timers that have avoided it for 3 years finally getting it. Hoping the rest of my family stays well for our next cruise end of March. Hope you are feeling better too!

Hi Bonnie, I hope you feel better soon and Fingers and Toes crossed that Jack remains healthy for the cruise. Donna said she felt about the same today but was happy to get up and take a nice hot shower. Chris is still blah and did the same as Donna - then made some hot tea with honey for both of them. Thank you for asking🥰

I think Sorrento's on Anthem is their best one. Not sure what they do different but seems better than other ships I have sailed on.
